“In Plain Sight” Book Featured on Ordinary Adventures Unboxing Video

Posted on September 8, 2020September 7, 2020 by Kimapult

When the book, “In Plain Sight” was published, I sent copies to various YouTubers and bloggers I admire. I was thrilled to see that Ordinary Adventures unboxed the book and really like it!

Please enjoy the whole video, but In Plain Sight content starts at 23:30.

Ordinary Adventures is a great YouTube channel to follow for fun nerdy content. I have been enjoying their videos for a year or so, and I highly recommend. They have positive and celebratory videos for tons of different fandoms. Click here to go directly to their channel.

If you would like a copy of the book, click here.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Love, Kim

InPlainSight.style Update

Posted on August 27, 2020 by Kimapult

OK, now that the book is done and out in the universe for all to enjoy, it is time to start posting again. I’m going to go slow, dip my toe in the water, so to speak.

Since I have had absolutely NO outside adventures, I will be posting outfits of the day once a week for the time being. If am appearing anywhere to speak about the book, I’ll post about that as well.

Tee is by my fabulous friend, Terri. Get your own here.

Until then, stay safe, wear a mask and socially distance with style!

Love, Kim

Notes on Gender References: Let me start with clothes have no gender! However, sometimes I do need to make a gender reference in regards to a piece. I promise the only reason I say, "ladies' boots" or "men's pants" is to let you make note of what department I found them and for sizing. This tends to happen mostly with shoes. You'll be shopping on a site and the sizing listed will be men's for a pair of boots. I own several "men's" pieces in my closet because it does not matter. What does matter is that you guys get the size you need and not an unpleasant surprise when a piece arrives and the sizing is all wrong for your body. This site is for all humans, and I want you to feel welcome. If there is ever anything that I write that gives you pause, please let me know so I can fix it and do better.

Thanks, Duckies!

Kim Henderson McAndrew is an author and blogger known for her bold, self-proclaimed nerdy style and ability to combine cosplay with everyday fashion. Recently, she has begun to integrate goth and kawaii pieces into her wardrobe. While a lover of the occasional screen-accurate cosplay, Kim used her unique style and love of certain fandoms to create every looks to honor superheroes ‘in plain sight’. Over time, friends and fellow cosplayers started encouraging her to publish a guide to help others learn how to do the same. So, in 2016, she launched InPlainSight.style, an all-ages geek/nerd fashion, mash-up cosplay, bounding and lifestyle blog with an emphasis on body confidence and body positivity. As the blog’s popularity grew, so did the demand for a book. So, she decided to combine the articles her readers felt most useful, put them in one place into a workbook-type format and this year Kim published her first book, In Plain Sight: Using Everyday Cosplay to Express Your Inner Superhero (2020). In Plain Sight offers readers a step-by-step guide to getting started with Cosplay, the various types and styles of Cosplay, how to create everyday looks, and the world of Bounding. The book includes shopping guides, sources, convention pack lists, Con pack lists and more. As time passed, Kim's style grew to include more of goth styles she loves, as well as sparkly pink and kawaii clothes, so she changed her brand name to "NerdySparkleGoth.com". Please take a look around, click on the links to shop around and drop a comment if you'd like. All people are welcome here, regardless of size, age, identity. Remember, clothes do not have a gender, so you can wear anything and everything you want! Let Kim help you find those pieces to look and feel your most confident self!
